Recently, we released a preview of cloud agents in JetBrains Air. Cloud agents let you run AI agents remotely in a JetBrains-managed cloud environment, giving them an isolated place to work without relying on your local machine. Here’s what that looks like in practice. In this video, I start a task in IntelliJ IDEA, follow […]

Twelve years ago, I was complaining that IoT devices were too expensive. Last week I bought a colour changing Zigbee lighbulb for £4. Not a typo - less than a fiver. While the aipocalypse is devouring RAM with its insatiable appetite, Moore's Law appears to be keeping up its end of the bargain when it comes to domestic gadgetry. This blog posts compares today's prices with those from a little …

Yuri Geronimus’s four-year-old son once asked him what his job was. Yuri told him he writes books: books that describe what he wants to change in the physical world. His son didn’t fully get it. Neither would most engineers: if you understand the words in your application code, you build good systems. If you don’t, […]

Nate Meyvis takes up a question AI skeptics keep raising: if AI-assisted coding is so powerful, where is the wave of new, good software? Several of his answers hold up well, particularly that approval chains don’t speed up and that much new software is private. What he doesn’t address is the question itself.

W3C groups now have an Activity page that shows, month by month, their charters, publications, meetings, participants and GitHub work in one place. The pages are in beta, and we would like your feedback.

Hoehenkirchen, Germany/Amsterdam, Netherlands — October 14, 2026 — Lauterbach and JetBrains have integrated TRACE32® debugging tools with CLion, JetBrains’ professional C and C++ tool. The integration enables embedded developers to debug applications on target hardware directly from CLion, bringing code editing, navigation, and hardware debugging into one development workflow. Using the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), […]

In August, we launched the $1M hacker challenge for Vercel Sandbox, inviting security researchers to try and escape Vercel Sandbox. We also coordinated with cybersecurity experts Trail of Bits to review the source code and security architecture. Here is a summary of the challenge: 1,285 reports over two weeks $242,000 in bounties paid out One Linux kernel zeroday vulnerability uncovered No reports showed anyone accessing customer data in Vercel Sandbox. The most severe finding was the defect...

Saul Newman‘s book, titled Morbid, is now loosed upon the world of people who want to read books that make people laugh, then really think. Published by MIT Press, it’s based on and extends the research that won Newman an Ig Nobel Prize. The 2024 Ig Nobel Demography Prize was awarded to Saul Justin Newman, […]

You can now create and connect Amazon S3 resources through the Vercel Marketplace without leaving your Vercel project dashboard. The Amazon S3 Marketplace integration automatically adds connection details as environment variables and lets you manage resources alongside your application infrastructure, with links to AWS for deeper configuration. Authentication uses short-lived OIDC credentials without storing static AWS keys. Amazon S3 is also available in v0, which provisions resources...

I started speedrunning Minecraft a while ago. It’s an interesting niche with many tutorials and a helpful community, so all the information you need is freely available. But I used to struggle a lot, because it wasn’t clear to me how to learn to execute this stuff – partially because my hand-eye coordination and reaction time suck, but also because most of the advice on improving mechanics is literally “play more”, and for me personally familiarity doesn’t easily translate into improvements....

Nemotron 3.5 Lightning from NVIDIA is now available for free on AI Gateway as nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-free, served by NVIDIA. Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open-weight reasoning and chat model for long-running agents, sub-agent work, chatbots, and RAG systems. The model has 30B parameters with 3B active per token, in a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts design that interleaves Mamba-2 and MoE layers with a few attention layers. It has a 1M token context window and supports tool calling and...

Redesigning source control at Anthropic Interesting piece from Anthropic describing why and how they built their own custom alternative to Git, based on the dramatic increase in rate of changes to their code after the past six months. In May 2026, Anthropic averaged around 2,500 code changes merged per day; as of September, we merged over 30,000 per day. They included a chart showing those changes. I had Claude modify their chart (code here) to add markers for the public releases of each of...

Release: llm-gemini 0.35 I added support to llm-gemini for the new Gemini 4 Argon model, made available today via the Gemini API and for customers of their $100/month subscription plan. Here are the low, medium and high pelicans. As expected, they are all excellent: Gemini has a track record of producing great SVGs, and are the only lab where I know their staff have invested in SVG specifically (and who have boasted about their pelicans before.) Here's the "high" illustration, which cost me...

The night before AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe, we hosted the Agentic AI Foundation community at the JetBrains office in Amsterdam. The event filled up fast and went to a waitlist, which is not what I expected for a Wednesday evening discussion about how open foundations work. Ibrahim Malik opening the evening. The panel asked what […]

If the agent isn't using my diagnostics library, I could introspect and update AGENTS.md, but there's still a delta, and it'll drift. Instead, I write a pre-commit hook that checks the git diff for direct calls to observability modules that bypass my diagnostics module. Boom: fail the commit, inject a prompt telling the agent to use the diagnostics library. All of a sudden it's ten out of ten. — Geoffrey Huntley, nobody should type code by hand anymore. here's what's left. Tags...
